Young Lord Arthur is told by a palm-reader (of questionable veracity) that, during his life, he is to commit a murder. In order to marry his fianc?, Sybil, with a clear conscience (!) he decides he must do this before their wedding day.
Not the brightest of aristocrats, what follows is a hilarious range of failed attempts by Arthur on the lives of his family members, all with the guidance of his faithful butler, Baines.
Old fashioned silliness to put a smile on your face and a spring in your step!
